Death Star 2 for 300 dollars. Says it might be 85% complete? Looks like not a lot of pieces though.

I would not take a chance. I prefer a 100% complete set. I do not like looking for certain pieces to finish a set.

So tempting...

I know right - I mean it could be a pretty decent score, but at the same time - that bag just looks so small.

I guess I'll pass and wait for something that is a little safer lol

Looking at the Amazon weight for the DS II which is 17.2 pounds, it is fairly unlikely to be "about 20 lbs" unless the seller threw in a bunch of pieces not in the set. I'd steer clear of this one, even though it might be tempting. The bag doesn't even look to be close to 20 lbs...

Ask him to post picture of it on a scale! Lol. Even then, you don't know if the pieces there are the ones that should be there. It's frustrating not being able to take a look in person sometimes!

That bag seems really small.  I've personally put this set together that I purchased second hand complete, and it was pretty much a garbage bag full!  This doesn't seem anywhere close to that

I'll bet it is.  I can fill a 1 gallon with about 4 lbs of parts usually.  Look at how small the 1 gallon bag on the left looks.  You could fill several of them with the big bag that he has the parts in.  My concern is the same as others, who's to say that the correct grey pieces are there?  I also don't know offhand how much 10143 instructions go for, another big piece missing.  Could be a great score, could be a money pit. 

125 sure. 300 nah. I'd skip it guys. Unless you really want to build the set yourself and don't care about having instructions. If so the only exclusive part In the set is I believe that sticker shown in the picture

Agreed, although I wonder if you could steal it at the end of the auction for $225.  That's getting a little closer to money making range.

I am watching it for that reason. I may ask the guy for some more pictures.
